The "Anutin 2 Cabinet" is set to be submitted to the King on 30 March after 35 names passed stringent qualification checks. Notably, the Pheu Thai Party submitted three names, with "Nikon" replacing "Pueng Sudawan," while "Dear Khattiya" and "Wisut" failed to make the cut.
On 28 March 2026, a report from the Bhumjaithai Party stated that on 27 March, the backgrounds and qualifications of the prospective new ministers in the "Anutin 2" government were thoroughly verified. Ms. Sudawan Wangsupakitkosol was the only candidate facing qualification issues. Therefore, the Pheu Thai Party submitted three backup candidates for background and qualification checks, namely Mr. Nikon Somkalang, Mr. Wisut Chainarun, and Ms. Khattiya Sawatphol. All three passed, but ultimately Mr. Nikon was chosen to be proposed as Minister of Social Development and Human Security to replace Ms. Sudawan.
